I think it depends on A) they continue to fund
the killing of our troops in Iraq; B) they persue
building a nuclear weapon.
So, I'd say HOPEFULLY never, but there's a good chance
they won't cease their current actions.
First let me point out how the decision isn't solely up to Iran.
Second, I submit that Iran is acting quite like the US might act if someone invaded Canada or Mexico. We too might sneak in some weapons and fighters, if not engage in all-out war.

Next, I must point out the head-spinning hypocrisy of the only country that "nuked" another telling others they can't have nuclear programs.

Also, maybe Iran is under the impression the US is their enemy?

Even little events like what I link to below here can explain why some Muslims might flock to Iraq.

'US forces worse than Saddam': World: Iraqi Dossier: News24

Abu Dhabi - A prominent Iraqi Shi'ite cleric, saying he was detained and beaten by United States forces, said on Wednesday that American methods were "worse" than those employed by the ousted regime of Saddam Hussein.
Really, the chief decider here is the United States. If it doesn't "cease its current actions," its leaders and followers can predict Iran and others will intervene in Iraq, and elsewhere. None of this is hard to understand.
